We all need a sense of peace and quiet, and sometimes that means scrolling through soft, fluffy pets to remind us of the simple things in life, like the simple beauty of a sunrise. 

In a world that feels loud, overly stimulating, and hectic, some sense of peace and quiet can add wonders to your mood. We all need to stop and smell the roses at some point. No one can exist in the hustle and bustle constantly, never taking a vacation or time for themselves. And it doesn't even have to be a full blown vacation; it could just be making a warm bath, laying on the couch, or ordering yourself a decadent meal. It's just about you and what makes you feel good at the end of a long day. For so many of us at Animal Comedy, that sense of replenishment comes from scrolling soft, fluffy pet memes. 

The pets below don't just invite you to relax, they're practically begging! And it doesn't even matter if they're fluffy or not. What, a frog can't be cozy? Animals inherently have a sense of relaxation to them because they're just too innocent. How could someone without a job make you stressed? They can't. So animal memes are a key role to our feeling of wellbeing. It gives us a sense of, "I can breath again." Watching the sunrise is one of the most special things we can do to start the day. It's like watching happiness emerge from clouds, and dogs are the perfect companion to watch it with you.

  • A sunrise isn't just beautiful colors in the sky, it's not just the spitting image of happiness amongst the clouds. When you watch a sunrise, the light hits your retinal cells which contain melanopsin. They send signals to a part of your brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is your central circadian clock, which in effect makes you more alert for the whole day. Melatonin gets suppressed, cortisol goes through its normal morning routine, serotonin boosts, and you stabilize your waking state. There's something so beautiful about the way we interact with nature, and when we watch a sunrise like that we can be more apart of the world.
